BH-0500 is a 45HP Dennis 'N' Type (Car Number: 4357, Engine Number:14019) and
was built just 8 machines before the other 45HP 'N' Type in this collection
SN1549.It was supplied new to the High Wycombe Fire Brigade. A document held by
the Buckinghamshire County Council declares that the vehicle registration BH0500
was allocated to;
'Chepping Wycombe Corporation' of 14 Easton Street, High Wycombe on the
9th. November 1920. The vehicle was noted as red in colour and the following
additional details were added;

The ladder appears to be the top 3 sections from a Shand Mason lattice girder
escape ladder. The rear wings are not original and appear to have been changed
to accommodate pneumatic tyres at one stage during its life only to be replaced
again by a late pattern solid wheels. I am grateful to Roger Mardon for
researching the material for this page.

This photograph taken sometime in the 1920's shows BH-0500 taking part in a
local parade. At this stage in its life it is still fitted with the original
solid tyred cast spoked wheels. A standard pattern Ajax type ladder is also
carried.
